Having one of your story's major secondary characters never speak and literally have no facial expressions, is that the sign of an ambitious or a crazy comic author...? This is, so far, a very slow-paced story with few words overall, and while the illustrations are great and the characters and setting interesting... Not a lot happens in this first book, honestly. Still curious to keep reading and see where it is going. ( )

Someone left this book out on a table at the library and I'm so glad I was tidying up because I'd forgotten how much I love Evan Dahm. [b:Rice Boy|6115136|Rice Boy|Evan Dahm|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1232402666s/6115136.jpg|6293208] is still one of my favourite things ever, and I was following Vattu on the website until I lost track of what was happening and decided to come back to it when more was finished, and then forgot, because I forget everything. So thanks, stranger who decided not to check out this book although you really should have because it's really cool!

First and obviously, Dahm's illustrations are so so so good, that's just a fact that will be true forever. I wrote two so's at first and went back to add a third because I love them that much. The landscapes are so beautiful and real, the characters are equally adorable and terrifying, and I am endlessly fascinated by how well he can get them to express emotions with just their eyes.

Second...the story isn't over yet but I love Vattu and her place in this tale. Nothing is ever going to be the same for her or her people, but I can't wait to see how the world continues to change and what will become of the grand colonial powers and the civilizations they raze. ( )

I'm not sure I've seen such world building before, and so implicit. I knew *nothing* about it going in, which is an amazing way of going into something so expertly done like this. Don't read anything about it, don't look at the online comic, just dive all the way in and luxuriate in it. ( )
